Friends… if you know me at all you know I am not cutesy or crafty or “kid food” creative at all. In fact I used to be the food editor for a kid’s food magazine and every time I was assigned to do something cutesy with food, I cringed. I just don’t have that talent like some people do! I love to throw a good Halloween Party but my food is typically pretty standard. Soup, bread, salad… nothing cutesy.

So when my friends at California Avocados challenged us to make a fun halloween party recipe using their fresh, California Avocados, I cringed. Ugh! What was I going to make? 

Frankenguac Halloween Party Recipe from dineanddish.netWith California Avocados being green, I started thinking what about Halloween is green? There are green monsters, the leaves on pumpkins and then I thought.. Frankenstein! He’s green!

As I was putting my halloween party recipe together, I was texting my friend Aggie from Aggie’s Kitchen at the same time, moaning and groaning about how much I stink at this kind of stuff. I sent her a picture and she responded “Oh I love him! Frankenguac!” and Frankenguac was born. And then I kind of loved him. He’s ridiculous. And cutesy. And really doesn’t look anything like Frankenstein at all…but he’s been named and I can’t help but look at him and laugh. Little Frankenguac makes me happy…who knew?

 If you are looking for a slightly goofy but fun recipe for your next Halloween Party, this Frankenguac couldn’t be easier to make! And you don’t even have to be cutesy or crafty to make it…you just have to go with it, have fun, and have a little imagination along the way!

What would you make with fresh California Avocados for Halloween? Sometimes it’s fun to step outside of your normal box and experiment in fun ways with food. I’m glad I was given this assignment, and had a friend to laugh about it with! I was inspired by this Frankenstein Quesadilla post on Kitchen Fun With My 3 Sons.

A fun Halloween Party Idea using fresh California Avocados to make a quirky and cute guacamole dip shaped like Frankenstein. Meet Frankenguac!
Prep Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 batch of your favorite guacamole using fresh California Avocados I love this recipe but didn't include the tomatoes
  • 1 handful of blue tortilla chips
  • 2 tablespoons of sour cream
  • 1/4 cup sliced olives

Instructions

To assemble Frankenguac:

  • Spoon guacamole onto a rectangle platter, using a flat edged scraper to shape into a rectangle.
  • Place chips near the top of his head, with triangle tip pointing down.
  • Add two dollops of sour cream for the whites of the eyes and top each with a sliced olive end piece (without the hole)
  • For the mouth, push sliced olives with rounded edges facing up into the guacamole, shaping it like Frankenstein's mouth.

    Oh man, I freaking love this idea! Even someone who doesn’t do cutesy food (aka me) can make this. Although how can you really eat something that cute? 😉

    Bear in mind, it doesn”t matter your real
    age, birthday parties are thhe ideal reason to have a great
    time, rejoice in life, and even get a bit wacky.

    However, not as many people think of sending fresh seafood as a present.
    The transition from a traditonal office worker to work from
    home employee, however, remains difficult for many employees.

    Does the guac turn brown? I made my guac tonight and plan on assembling this tomorrow and then taking it to a friends house, but I don’t want it turning brown before everyone gets a chance to see and eat it.
